BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Fleur East reveals gruesome injury before dance-off as Vito sends public message

Strictly Come Dancing star Fleur East has revealed she had a bit of a grim injury before landing up in the dance-off over the weekend. The singer and radio presenter was in the bottom two for a second time as the BBC One dance contest pulled out all the stops for its Halloween special.

Fleur and her professional partner Vito Coppola had to re-perform their salsa routine to Beyonce’s Break My Soul as they went up against James Bye and Amy Dowden. The EastEnders star ended up under the dreaded red light after his Charleston to Bumble Bee by LaVern Baker.

After both couples had danced for the second time, it was a unanimous decision by the judges to save Fleur and send James home. Craig Revel Horwood said it was his "responsibility" as a judge to "save the better dancer", meanwhile Motsi said there were "different levels of dancing on the dance floor" as she opted to save Fleur.
